This is a nice record that is only here because I got amazed with this cover on Caetano's Bossa Nova book and I could track it down for Loronixers. In my opinion one of the greatest cover I have ever seen, very representative, with someone throwing away some records in favor of our lovely Bossa Nova, very funny.Meet, The Singers Inc. - Bossa Nova! (1963), for Valiant, as people use to say, very groovy and nice vocals by George Tipton, Ian Feebairn-Smith, Perry Botkin Jr., James Bryant (The Singers Inc.), backed by Howard Roberts (guitar), Don Shelton (sax), Lyle Ritz (bass) and Larry Bunker, Milt Holland, Jerry Williams, Emil Richards, Chico Guerrero (percussion). Let's wait for Loronixers’ feedback on this release. Tracks include:
01 - Liebestraum
02 - You Stepped out of a Dream
03 - Volare
04 - Where or When
05 - In a Little Spanish Town
06 - What you Come Home, Bill Baily
07 - Ja-Da
08 - Could Have Danced all Night
09 - Bye Bye Blues
10 - Man'selle
11 - So Rare
12 - Baubles, Bangles and Beads
These are top Hollywood studio musicians from the sixties. Cult musicians.You know how to surprise.

Hope you enjoy this.

Great fun! Thanks for all your work! Loronix is my favorite blog of all time.
ReplyDeleteCha-cha, Twist, and Mambo were all fads in the USA, and they considered Bossa the "latest thing". A historical cover. Cheers.
"... Já dancei o twist até demais. Mas não sei, me cansei do calipso ao chá chá chá
ReplyDeleteSó danço samba, só danço samba, vai, vai, vai, vai, vai..."
Great cover that stages one of my favourite Bossa Nova songs ever.
Thanks zeca, you are really great.
Your friend.
